More than 66 per cent of India’s population lives in rural areas, of which close to 70 per cent depends on agriculture for its livelihood. They have little or no access to education, transport, financial services and the Internet. This is a huge barrier to encouraging rural entrepreneurship, implementing digital and financial inclusion, and building rural capacities and livelihoods.
